Anthony Hutchinson, Ph.D., correlates his pursuit of neuroscience to exposure he received as an undergraduate at Berea College. After receiving a bachelor's degree in psychology, he partook in advanced studies focusing upon the functional properties of G protein-coupled receptors at the University of Arizona. Under the tutelage of Professor John W. Regan, he investigated the signaling properties of endogenous prostanoid receptors in brain and eye-derived cell culture models systems. Through continued research, Dr. Hutchinson was successful in establishing the linkage of the EP and FP prostanoid receptor families to the expression of cytokines and growth factors important for neuroprotection, tumor progression, angiogenesis, inflammation and tissue remodeling.
During scholarship undertaken at the University of Arizona, Dr. Hutchinson developed an interest in diversity educational projects. He initially participated in the Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity, where his effectiveness resulted in a Centennial Doctoral Achievement Award.
Following completion of his doctorate, Dr. Hutchinson joined the laboratory staff of Professor Margarita L. Dubocovich located at the University at Buffalo. As a postdoctoral fellow, in addition to studying MT1 and MT2 melatonin receptors responses in mice, he became active in the Collaborative Learning and Integrated Mentoring in the Biosciences (CLIMB) Program for graduate and undergraduate students. While a co-facilitator, he assisted students with developing communication, critical thinking, and practical laboratory skills.
In his role as the BioXFEL Center's, Education and Diversity Coordinator, Dr. Hutchinson enthusiastically anticipates his championing projects that increase accessibility and promote diversity programs in both the educational and scientific communities.
